Police Officers Fired

DIGEST

RIVIERA BEACH -- The city`s police chief has recommended the firing of three officers involved in a March agrument that centered on a love triangle and resulted in one officer being shot.

Officer Willman Norris, 32, who was on duty, and two off-duty officers, Doris Brooks and Felicia Jones, have been informed of their pending dismissals in an April 23 letter from Chief of Police James O. FitzGerald.

Police said the three officers became involved in an altercation on March 2 in the parking lot of the Stop `N` Go store at 3433 Broadway. The three were arguing because both women had been dating Norris. When Jones threw carpet cleaner in Norris` face, he shot her in the right shoulder.

The three officers can appeal the action to a police review board, which will hear evidence and make recommendations to FitzGerald. However, the chief is not bound to accept the board`s recommendation.
